London's The King Blues have called it quits. The band made this statement:

It is with great sadness and very heavy hearts that we must inform you, that as of today The King Blues are no more. We simply feel we have taken things as far as they can go and it would be unfair on you if we were to go through the motions like so many other artists do. We all believe strongly in what The King Blues stands for.

The band is promising a final album for release in July. It's currently titled Long Live The Struggle and follows 2011's Punk and Poetry and 2008's Save the World, Get the Girl.

seeing him get a whole field chanting "fuck the BNP" at an all-ages mini-festival in a public park, followed by scores of parents going to stop their children from saying it before going "ah, that's fair enough really" and letting them carry on regardless, was absolutely priceless. for that alone, he gets a pass from me.

first album (before the reissue) was a respectable anarcho-accoustic-ska-punk album everything after was claptrap. They did the standard, get signed to a major and lose anything remotely interesting thing.

I don't think anyone expecting this. Punk & Poetry was great. Honest, brave and kind a different. Big loss for UK punk scene. At least we have one last record on the way and also Itch's solo debut colud change the formation.
